Photo of MAMADOU BAND MAMADOU BAND "MAMADOU is a West African World Fusion Band that has brought a masterful and diverse repertoire of West African, Reggae, and Latin genres to hundreds of schools, festivals, and clubs. MAMADOU is the 2011 Boston Music Award winner for Best International Artist and was also nominated for the 2012 BMA. MAMADOU is known for getting lots of people out onto the dance floor and for those who just like to sit back and watch the music, the band offers sophisticated polyrhythmic musical pieces with an engaging groove that is truly entertaining to watch. MAMADOU is led by an internationally known artist, Mamadou Diop, whose Senegalese roots infuse his dynamic and complex original compositions with stories, spirit, and rhythm, lots of great rhythms" Based in Gloucester, Massachusetts Mamadou Diop - MAMADOU BAND Photo of Le'Mixx Band Le'Mixx Band "Reviewed on: 12/28/2024 Le'Mixx is an eclectic bunch of talented musicians that exceeded our expectations. We didn't want a band that would perform the go-to tracks of the wedding circuit. We wanted a seasoned band to perform live music in genres ranging from Funk to R&B. Their band showcased tunes with woodwind & brass instruments and live vocals from their lead singer and all performers. The band informed us of all their necessities in advance and arrived early. The band also provided all the necessary equipment, like microphones and speakers. Our young and wise guests found themselves all on the dance floor from the energy Le'Mixx created." Based in Hamden, Connecticut Alexis P. - Wedding Photo of Reggae Fusion Reggae Fusion "Reggae Fusion performed at our annual summer party this year, and they were easily the best band we've had in the six years we've been hosting the event. We always feature live music with multiple acts, and they truly stood out with their fantastic mix of classic reggae favorites and modern hits with an island vibe. Not only were they incredibly talented, but they were also professional, reliable, and very easy to work with throughout the entire process. Their energy was contagious, and they kept our guests entertained all night. We received so many compliments, and several people asked how they could book them for their own events. I highly recommend Reggae Fusion to anyone looking for a fun, crowd-pleasing band that will make their event unforgettable." Based in East Setauket, New York 22nd July 2026 Jake M Photo of The Brooklyners The Brooklyners "The sun is shining from the first bar in this soon to be a hit song! It is the first one David Langlois ever wrote and it's about his falling in love for Africa at first sight. When I got the track and listened to it, I thought this should be number 1 on the charts! So i play it on my show the next morning, and I started hearing from listeners sending love messages from all over the world! I told him how much I love the richness of the sounds and that he was a real Jamaican to which he responded " a Frenchaican".

The music was a perfect mix of our requests for some traditional holiday music along with basic samba/latin styled music as well. They were always accommodating to all my requests. Thank you for making our party such a success!" Based in New York Nadia P.
